How to get involved\u00a0<\/h1>\n

There are a number of ways to get involved in our audiology research.<\/p>\n

Could you be an audiology volunteer?<\/h2>\n

We are looking for volunteers with all levels of hearing to join our database and take part in studies. Your participation is invaluable in teaching us more about communication and hearing health.<\/p>\n

To find out more about our Hearing Health Research Volunteer Database you can download the\u00a0Participant Information Sheet<\/a>. Please complete the REDCap survey<\/a> to join the database.<\/p>\n

Recruiting studies<\/h2>\n

Active studies with public and patient participants are listed below. Please note, some of these studies may require referral from a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n

We are investigating how different auditory (hearing) measures change during ageing and how these may be different in early Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n
